Triggering an explosion, seventeen-year-old Angeline Castillo bites it, escaping the ÆRA research facility and its horrors... temporarily. Hours later, she awakens - terrified and alone back in the lab, only to discover cybernetic implants replace half her skull, reversing the damage that'd killed her. Upgraded, she finds enhanced living to be a blessed curse. Cuz while technopathic abilities are cool, a disembodied voice in your head that's reading your thoughts, seeing through your eyes, and speaking in your dead brother's voice? Not so cool. Still... the voice's got a name Archie, and he claims to have access to the entire facility, so they form a pact. She'll fight her way to him if he'll help her survive. But Archie and Angeline have secrets of their own: secrets that could endanger their friendship, his existence, and her very identity. And the closer they get, the more inseparable they become.

Four unmarked survivors. One totalitarian government. A fight to keep their humanity intact. 100 years into the future, the E-91 virus has thrust the world into chaos. For Rachel Wilson, survival hasn't come easy. For the last fifteen years, she's lived in the wilderness, just out of reach of the Council of Nations. Until one day, poachers--the section of law enforcement tasked with hunting the Unmarked--raid her home and she is forced to go on the run. Weary from the attack, but certainly not broken, she ventures into a dangerous world with only her fiery determination to survive. In what appears to be a stroke of good luck, she is rescued by an underground movement working towards bringing down the capital or die trying. Death over mark, that had always been the mantra.
